use_webdings   use_webdings = "false"
Internet Explorer and Gecko browsers recognize the webdings font family if it is installed on the user's computer. This font can produce the rewind ( ), back ( ), forward ( ) and fastforward ( ) control symbols as text.

By using webdings instead of images, four image downloads can be avoided.

Opera, however, does not recognize the font and will display the text values in a non-symbol font.
Instead of , Opera displays 7 3 4 8.

The script provides a default use_webdings value of false.

Usage Suggestion:
Set this parameter to true only if you are writing a non-web application for a controlled environment, like an intranet, where you are guaranteed IE or Gecko use and installation of the webdings font.
